Pakistan’s information minister, Attaullah Tarar, said the strikes targeted sites allegedly used to launch and store drones, some of which Pakistan said had been used against it the previous day. The available reporting does not independently establish the extent of damage, casualties, or Afghanistan’s response. The development is particularly urgent because cross-border military action could intensify tensions, trigger further retaliation, and complicate security efforts along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
